Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons water
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 2 medium lemons, juiced
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup white wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into flour again to coat both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 3

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until almost cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Heat chicken broth, wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until combined; add to broth mixture and cook until it thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 5

Place chicken into the prepared baking dish and pour sauce over top.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 7

Gather all ingredients.
